It's rather funny that neither textbook nor teacher (nor parents) taught the answer, yet I'm supposed to know it...how do you do it? _________________________ Sidekick have I. My Ducky, it is.

Instead, I think it's in our mutual interest for one of us to try to catch the other when they fall.

"The first person I met who eats chocolate and cheese cake is my friend, Anne." Does that help? Person/is. Everything else modifies. Lots going on here, though. I see dotted lines in your future. "I met" and "who eats" are also simple sentences, so they get their own lines.
